Well done fran and john on creating such comprehensive content. Most importantly giving young(er) "retirees" courage to do so by role modeling and education. Keen to see more content on building/joining proactive community as an expat. Also where can I find the video on how you bring your furkid to Malaysia?
Thank you, Gennie! We are so glad you found our channel and enjoyed our videos. ❤️ Here is the link to Snuffy's relocation journey : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cJsU4Ft6tJ0.html
Great video and channel. Ipoh (and Malaysia in general) is a nice place. If the visa were easier to obtain, it would certainly be a top retirement choice.
Thank you! Well there are several ways for obtaining a visa. We ran through a few in some of our videos. Where there's a will, there is always a way. ❤️
@@corporatebreakoutcouple A lot of the topics that you covered are things that I have been contemplating as well. I have been wanting to find a lot of such information, but they are not readily available. Thank you for being willing to share all these details of your journey online for all. 1 video suggestion that I have is whether you will consider doing a cross comparison video that discusses retirement options for Singaporeans in the Southeast Asia regions. Such as Malaysia vs Indonesia vs Thailand Vs Vietnam Vs Philippines, where you compare ease of securing residence visas there, cost of living, lifestyle quality options, transportation, medical, education, ease of living due to language barriers and provide your recommendations what you think are the pros & cons for selecting such places to live in. I myself am very keen to know after a failed attempt to migrate to Canada. I'm sure that it will be very helpful to many like myself who are exploring options around =)
@@sihanchen7552 That is our intention actually. To explore different retirement venues all over the world. In order to do that, we actually travel to the different countries. So far, we've covered Bangkok, Malaysia (different states), Singapore and Bali, Indonesia. We did travel extensively to Vietnam but being a tightly governed country, it isn't viable for one to retire there long term, from our point of view. We are sure there are people who've retired to Vietnam but we aren't exploring that.
@@corporatebreakoutcouple That's cool. I am going to binge watch many of your travel videos, esp. those across states of Malaysia. Will you be keen to exploring Sarawak? Kuching seems like a retirement spot I will like to consider. Why is Vietnam being a communist country make it not a good destination for long term retirement? Care to enlighten?
@@sihanchen7552 yes, we will be exploring Sabah & Sarawak next year! Looking forward to going there and explore the wonders. As for Vietnam, there are a lot of regulations and certain level of strictness that the govt holds and as a foreigner living there, you don't want to be subject to sudden changes in laws and regulations that might affect your life there.
It's all perspectives, isn't it? What's low to someone is high to someone else. What's high to someone is low to someone else. However these numbers are on the ground prices. You can probably shave off a few hundred ringgit per person but that would mean it is the barest minimum to live a comfortable life as we have given in the video.
How do you both sustain your daily expenses and life if you both dont have a full time jobs? Pls share (eg rental? assume you had completed your housing loan?, etc)
It depends on what kind of lifestyle you and your family wants. Ipoh is very laid back, chill. Slow pace of life, no stress. Lots of scenery. Putrajaya is a city as well as the administrative capital of Malaysia.
@@corporatebreakoutcouple thank you. For us the cost of living and cost of education are the priority. We cannot afford KL or Penang unfortunately so we are thinking which other cities will be best.
@@WxM3008WxM we actually did the cost of living for KL and Penang as well. Feel free to watch the videos. Housing for Putrajaya will definitely be more expensive than Ipoh. Food wise, Ipoh is actually slightly more expensive than Penang. KL would be the most expensive for food. Putrajaya isn't too far off.
Don’t mix up foreigners with Malaysian? There are here to clean tables n serve. Of course no English. Cheap labour. We cannot survive without foreign cheap labour. It’s our government policy.
